Supporting Your “Skin Story”

Supporting Your “Skin Story”

As consumers, we’ve been conditioned to head to the store and buy whatever we need whenever we need it. But when it comes to personal care products, making exactly what your skin needs reduces waste, empowers you to have 100% control, and fully supports your skin story.

Today I speak with certified aromatherapist Emelia Kohler. Emilia’s on the show to give us the motivation and knowledge to first understand our own skin stories and then confidently create products in our own kitchens that address our specific needs.

A friendly note from Stephanie: This episode requires a bit of background knowledge. If you haven’t already, please listen to episode #193: Are Essential Oils Worth The Hype? before tuning into this one!

Sneak Peek: Influencers Aren't Friends

Influencer marketing is a case study in how easy it is to sell things to followers who trust their favorite online personalities.
